Mo'Phatt : 64 Voice Urban Dance Synth
Overview The Mo'Phatt was launched in late spring 2000 (and
available in late summer), as the Urban Dancel Module in the new Proteus "1000" range. With a highly credible 64 voices and 32 MB of samples, the Mo'Phatt upgrades the old Planet Phatt by a
factor of 4, adding hundreds of more samples, plus new functions from the Audity 2000.
Filters The Mo'Phatt has 50 Z-plane 14-pole digital filters some of which are extracted from the 197 filter types that were created
for the Morpheus. Some are rather newer (e.g. TB303!) There are a wide range of filters from traditional analog, to formants and flange/phaser. If you use some of the more complex filters your voice polphony will reduce by a half.
Configuration There are four "oscillators" called Instruments, Layers 1 - 4. They each can replay any of the 16-bit sampled waveforms, which are connected to the Z-plane filter, and then a
digitally controlled amplifier(DCA) and stereo pan.
There are 2 envelope generators (one for the filter, and one for the DCA), plus a third assignable envelope generator. There are
also two independent LFO's per layer, each with 17 different waveforms and they can sync to MIDI clock. Then there is a full modular patch cord facility to enable control of any of the 64 destinations, with any of the 64 sources.
Effects The Mo'Phatt has the usual dual 24-bit effects set up, with 76 types of basic effects. Rather long in the tooth, but useful neverthless, - not a substitute for a dedicated unit.
Verdict The Mo'Phatt is a great step up from the original - well worth buying ! |
